| Description |
A sculpture like this speaks a universal language
of tenderness, no matter how many centuries
may have passed, we are still moved by the
image of maternity which is surely one of the
oldest known to mankind. In the context of the
ancient mesoamerican tombs, such a figure
would speak eloquently of the continuity of life.
